Jim Acosta for President!!

I'm stunned reading some of your comments. Do you guys actually read the things you're saying..Seriously..While I think Jim should be more respectful
to President Trump it is asinine to think what happened was an assault. Guys you can't cheer the president on any and everything he does. He's not
perfect and in this instance suspending his press pass was not right.

Look, it doesn't matter whether he did or did not assault that woman.

At this point, I'm just concerned he doesn't have the right temperament to be a CNN Journalist.

I agree with this. I don't think assault happened. I think Jim was being a jerk and refused to give the mic back to the intern after he tried to
lecture the President. Acosta was just acting like a typical Antifa protestor being a dick. (Although Antifa DOES actually assault people)

Glad he won't be allowed in the white house in the near future.

With that said... If someone like say, Sean Hannity acted this way to Obama, we all KNOW that the left, along with Hollywood and late night hosts
would be calling for ASSAULT! We all know it.

Because she was not assaulted. Jim was clearly being an ass and should show some respect for the President but the suspension was not necessary.
Perhaps a reminder to CNN President of the code of ethics when dealing with the president (If one exist) and if he continues then he could be replaced
with another rep from CNN. If he was suspended strictly based on the "assault" then that was wrong.

Suspending his press pass absolutely WAS right. It has nothing to do with assault allegations either. Do you think Obama would have allowed Alex Jones
a press pass? I don't think so buddy, go protest and be belligerent in the streets. Not at WH press briefings.

Why wasn't the suspension necessary?

Don't you think the president should be considered what is and isn't necessary?

The reason Acosta is out is because he allowed his private feud with the president to spill over onto an intern who isn't there because she's a
Trumpster or -tard or whatever you want to call it. She's presumably there to make coffee and do other menial jobs and gain insight and experience
into politics, not have to battle with angry and overzealous reporters for microphones.

Whether or not he hit her, he didn't do much more than Corey Lewandoski was universally shamed for doing with an overzealous reporter. When she came,
he should have coughed up. He had his question.

And that's why he's out, not for any other reason. When time is up, time is up and the intern is the signal, not a stuffed toy to ignore and abuse.

If you can't answer coherently, then I must assume that the opposition is emotional and not rational.

Ok, you're being serious. According to Sarah Sanders he's being suspended because of his actions (inappropriate behavior) which i assume is against
the white house staff. She backed that up by including a video that was clearly doctored showing the supposedly assault. Any rational, clear thinking
person can clearly see that this was not an assault.

If the inappropriate behavior is the way he kept trying to get an answer from President Trump then the reporter following Jim should have been
suspended as well as many others.

Coach Gundy's problem is the same one the administration had with Acosta. He lets his anger at them get in the way of his dealings with the intern. He
was rude to her because of his anger with them, and that's where the fun and games ended for Jim.
